I'm 8 episodes into the Haunting of Bly Manor. It's very watchable, less of a **** your pants horror than Hill House, more of an intriguing ghost story.

Still got plenty of bits that make you go all shivery though

Timeless on netflix, the series is about time travel. the acting is at times terrible, and the storylines are often ridiculous. That said, it is intriguing when you think about the possibilities of the changes to historical events.

Suits - late to the party but hooked. 3 or 4 episodes a night

Social Dilemma - highly recommend, should be shown to young teenagers

I’m the same, just one to go. Must admit I’m a little disappointed though. Very watchable but not a patch on Hill House.

Not sure what format it's on but Fargo meets the brief and is the best thing I've ever seen on TV.

To the lake is an excellent Netflix series very topical.

Just started watching The Umbrella Academy on Netflix,good fun,very dark comedy and the music in it is excellent.

Watched American Murder The Family Next Door last night. Made me feel sick and it’s hard to get out of your head but if you like true crime stuff it’s all done with police and social media footage.

Another recommendation for American Murder - The Family Next Door. A brilliant piece of TV made up entirely of real video with no outside narrative. Will shock you about the actual event and planning and at the same time raise anger and tears.

The Fall

GA is fit

They should quote that in the trailer

Watched the 1st episode of Hill House on Sunday, it was quite eerie especially that scene with his sister at the and I didn't sleep particularly well afterwards..

Did find it a bit confusing at first with the flashbacks and working out which adult was which grown up child but will give the 2nd episode a go later.

Unfortunately, I watched that as well. Felt decidedly grubby afterwards - that was all too real to be used as entertainment. Struggled to get it out of my head for a few days. All those videos playing with his kids??
Nothing is too bad for him.

He needs to be kept alive for as long as possible so that every single day he is made to think about what he did to those beautiful children,he sacrificed them for a pretty plain Jane WTF was he thinking?

Just binged The Queens Gambit - chess is fantastic

Just started Black Mirror on Netflix - watched 4 of em so far.
They are all individual episodes that are not connected / don’t follow on from each other.
Written by British comedian and writer Charlie Brooker - very clever and weird but enjoying them so far.
He’s got some pretty big Hollywood stars to appear in them and keeps on getting Netflix to commission new series so guessing this has done really well in the USA too.
Well worth a look for anyone looking for something new and a bit different

I’ve just started watching ‘The Boys’ on Amazon Prime.

It’s fairly cheesy but I’m still hooked.

Onto the final 2 episodes of season 2 tonight

Really enjoyed it

Slightly off topic, but there’s a must watch documentary on BBC2 tonight 10.00pm.

2 brothers from the Wuhan research centre, where Trump suspects that COVID was engineered, were due to get on flight MH370, that miraculously disappeared.

Seems that they were the guys behind the development of the strain, and intending to use it as a weapon.

Someone caught wind of their plan, and purposefully downed the plane.

Neither of them got on the flight though.

It’s really interesting.

Have a look at it, it’s called TWO WONGS DON’T MAKE A FLIGHT.

the travellers on netflix has excellent reviews ont tinterweb. 95% positive off 1300 reviews. a few episodes in and it seems bingeable

We've just watched the first series of End of the effin world on Netflix. British drama with a Taratino feel to it. 8 half hour episodes, we binged the lot on Friday night. Its excellent.

Just started watching Jack Ryan after finishing The Boys.

It’s good so far.

Hi GodisADeeJay81

Was really worried with the loss of Pike and moving off into the future, but I have really enjoyed the 3 episodes so far. Good news that its been renewed for the 4th season.

Enjoyed watching Queen's Gambit this weekend.

I'm hoping they do a new series with just the Enterprise and Pike with that crew etc.

Yes we watched Jack Ryan series on Amazon, would also recommend Bosch. Excellent viewing.

On Netflix we have just watched the shooter. Again good series to binge on

The political series House of Cards is good but don’t be coming on here to discuss it

Great news on Strange new worlds.

I already knew about Picard and I'm looking forward to that.

Surprised no mention of Stranger Things on Netflix.

Series 1 was groundbreaking, series 2 was OK, series 3 was flogging a dead horse

Better Call Saul , Mad Men.

Another for the Queens Gambit. Binged it at the weekend. Surprisingly good. Film wise. Watched The trial of the Chicago Seven. Worth a watch and surprisingly humorous.

Watched that Chicago Seven the other day and agree about the humour, but also found it shocking how it ever made it to court and how the judge behaved etc.

Definitely worth a watch though.

It's written by Aaron Sorkin. All his work is like that.

If you liked it I also recommend Molly's Game, he wrote the screenplay for that and it's a similar type of story.

I've seen that advertised, didn't realise it was the same fella who'd written it.

I'll give it a go, cheers.

The Newsroom is very good as well, as long as going into it you remember that it's a TV show and therefore it is of course an idealistic version of journalism and how journalism should be.

Been watching The Umbrella Academy on Netflix... it’s interesting and grabbing my attention after the first couple of episodes of the first series. Interesting concept, and I’m enjoying it.

The Four Year Plan - documentary on Prime about QPR when they were taken over by the italians. Best football club documentary I've seen, warts and all behind the scenes and some of the footage when the owners are trying to get the manager to make certain decisions mid-game are incredible

This seems to be the model trajectory for Netflix series. Puts me off watching them as you know, as you start the first series, that nothing will end up being resolved as they will want to leave the door open for series 2 ...and so on, and on.

Series 4 of the Crown coming this weekend, cant wait to watch this. I'm not a royalist at all, and I dont know how accurate the storylines have been, but it the previous series have left me with a better understanding of the Royals. I found myself googling the events for accuracy whilst watching episodes before, with series 4 I'll probably remember the events for myself

Watched the documentary film "Knock Down the House" this week and thought it was fantastic. AOC is an absolute inspiration
